A lot of my time in Ecuador was spent around Hummingbirds which presented a fun challenge: trying to take excellent Hummingbird photographs. Unfortunately there are not that many Hummingbirds where I live, at least most of the year. I have a resident Anna’s Hummingbird in my backyard but being out in nature and photographing Hummingbirds like I got to do in Ecuador is a much different experience. The variety is vast and the surrounding flowers are much more exciting.
This was my first time photographing Hummingbirds with my newer professional camera gear so it was also a learning experience. I’ve only had my new tools for about five months at this point. I think I did quite well, though, and I look forward to shooting more Hummingbirds in the future.
